Isn’t this 6 NWQ players just a gentlemen’s agreement though with the WRU? There’s not much they can do if any of the regions signed loads as it’s illegal. Can you imagine going for a job interview in Maybe it’s best not to rock the boat though!! |

Other than not pay the £2 million a year, that was also part of the deal, I guess not.

its always amazed me that these rules exist in a professional game which is the players livelihoods.
Wouldnt it be a simple employment tribunal case for restriction of trade or against employment laws???

However Manu has not represented a country and could qualify to play for Wales in the forthcoming years, therefore meaning he is no longer NWQ!

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

He has represented the New Zealand Maori though so this may be what rules him out of Welsh qualification??

They might be considered as a sort of New Zealand 'A' - I've not ever heard of a player playing for the Maoris and then playing for another country have you?? |

Wouldnt they be classed in the same way as the Pacific Islands team? Pretty sure they dont award caps against them. So our overseas players would be King,Macleod,Douglas and Shwalker, Manu,Eustace,Hayter could in effect not be classed as non Welsh Qualified as they could qualify on residency grounds-hey wont I know.
So there will be space for another 3 NWQ and possibly other uncapped overseas players if Im not mistaken? Edited by jonescnnr - 26 January 2008 at 2:06am |

Looks like they are treated as an 'A' team as they compete in the Churchill Cup in which case they would not be able to represent another nation apart from New Zealand.
(Although they do say not to believe all you read on Wikipedia!!)

So watch this space....as we are with all the other guy siwth contract up!! Any news on what MJW is doing yet?

Just to clear this up Manu has been capped a couple of times for Fiji so is definitely NWQ
